Lakshminarayana Temple Hosaholalu | Krishnarajapet tourism Mandya tourism | Temple Karnataka tourism
Lakshminarayana temple Hosaholalu , Mandya Temple is an Ancient Hoysala Temple located at Krishnarajapet Mandya Karnataka India. The ancient Lakshminarayana Temple is located in Hosaholalu.It is one of the historic temples in Karnataka. The stone carved temples are part of Mandya Tourism and Karnataka tourism.
The famous temple of Lakshminarayana of ancient times has become an unknown temple of Karnataka in recent times.
It was built by King Vira Someshwara of the Hoysala Empire in 1250 C.E. The dating of the temple is based on the style of the sculptures and architecture that compares closely with the contemporary Hoysala monuments at Javagal, Nuggehalliand Somanathapura. The town of Hosaholalu is about 60 kilometres (37 mi) from Hassanand 45 kilometres (28 mi) from the heritage city of Mysore, the cultural capital of Karnataka state.
The temple is a splendid example of a trikutavimana (three shrined) temple though only the central shrine exhibits a tower (superstructure or Shikhara) on top. The lateral shrines are square in construction with five projections and no special features. The central shrine is well decorated and its tower has a sukanasi(called nose) which is actually a lower tower over the vestibule that connects the shrine (cella containing the image of the deity) to the hall (mantapa). The sukanasi looks like an extension of the main tower over the central shrine. The material used for the temple construction is chloritic schist, more commonly known as Soapstone. The temple is built on a jagati (platform), a Hoysala innovation that elevates the temple by about a metre.
According to art critic Gerard Foekema, the temple as a whole exhibits the new style and belongs to the 2nd phase of Hoysala building activity (13th century), with two sets of eaves, and six moldings at the base of the outer wall. The first eave is located where the superstructure meets the temple outer wall and the second eave runs around the temple and about a metre below the first eave. In between the two eaves are decorative miniature towers on pilasters (called Aedicule), with sculptured wall images of Hindu deities and their attendants below the second eave. Being a Vaishnava temple (a Hindu sect), most of the images represent some form of Hindu god Vishnu, his consort and his attendants. There are a hundred and twenty such images. In all there are twenty four sculptures of Vishnu standing upright holding in his four arms the four attributes, a conch, a wheel, a lotus and a mace in all possible permutations. Below the panel of deities is the base of the wall consisting of six decorative rectangular moldings of equal width which run all around the temple.
The six horizontal mouldings are intricately sculptured and are called friezes. Seen from top to bottom; the first frieze depicts birds (hansa), the second depicts aquatic monsters (makara), the third frieze has depictions of Hindu epics and other mythological and puranic stories narrated in the clockwise direction (direction of devotee circumambulation), the fourth frieze has leafy scrolls, the fifth and sixth friezes have a procession of horses and elephants respectively. In the frieze that depicts the epics, the Ramayana starts from the western corner of the southern shrine and the Mahabharata starts from the northern side of the central shrine vividly illustrating the demise of many heroes of the famous war between Pandavas and Kauravas.
The interior of the temple consists of a closed hall (mantapa) of modest size with four polished lathe turned pillars supporting the roof. The four central pillars divide the hall into nine equal bays (compartments) and nine decorated ceilings. The sanctum of the three shrines contain the images of Venugopala, Narayana in the middle and Lakshminarasimha; all forms (Avatar) of Vishnu.

Sri Laskshmi Venkateshwara Temple - Mysore
Hedathale Lakshmikantha Swami temple Mysore tourism Nanjangud tourism Karnataka Tourism
Lakshmikantha Swami temple ,Hedathale, Nanjangud tourism Mysore tourism, Karnataka Tourism, Karnataka temple. This was built in 1182 C E. Hoysala Veera Ballala III got this temple constructed. Lakshmikantha statue is in position of Shama sayanam or Mudra Dharana ( wearing of the symbol) .As per Sri Vaishnava Culture after Sudarshana Homa the Shanka chakra were heated and the Chakra was pressed on the right hand and Shanka on the left hand, causing a permanent mark, after which the person was considered purified. One specialty here is that generally behind Krishna, Venugopala generally is the Adishesha but in this temple Adishesha is not there.
The Lakshmi kantha Swamy temple situated at the center of the village is the centre of tourist activity in this village. This is an ancient temple and is at least 700 years old. It is an exquisite piece of Hoysala architectural marvel and is constructed in the trikootachala style with a triad of shrines around a central atrium. From the vantage point of the central atrium one can simultaneously view the three deities. Lakshmikantha (literally the Lord of Lakshmi) adorns the central sanctum sanctorum. Venugopala and Lakshminarasimha comprise the other two deities of the triad. A beautiful image of Andal adorns a corner of the central atrium. Another enclosure houses the images of Sri Ramanuja, Vedantha Desika and other alwars. Outside the main complex, at the entrance gate are shrines of Ganapathi and the Navagrahas. For most part of the last century, this temple was in a dilapidated state. But towards the turn of the last century, this temple was renovated due to the untiring efforts of Sr Veerendra Hegde, Sri Rangapriya Swami and the financial support of the TVS group. Sri Sri Rangapriya Sri Sri, was a prominent sanyasi in southern India and was instrumental in the revival of the Lakshmikantha swami temple.
The specialty of this place is that when the lights are on the statue looks like a normal statue, but when the lights are switched off , and in the light of the mangala arthi, it appears that the statue eyes looking straight at us, with a smiling face. The other speciality of the Mantapa or Chavadi at this temple is that it is a 16 faced Mantapa consisting of 16 seats. Bhimanna Dandanayaka the palyegara (ruler) got this 16 faced Chavadi (a place of assembly) constructed, because he had 16 daughters and after their marriage.
The king and the queen had a desire to see their daughters frequently, but if they visit their daughters turn by turn, then the administrative requirements of the place would suffer as they were 16 of them. So they would fix a day and invite all of them over. The Kind Queen daughters and the son in laws would all gather here and enjoy the singing concert, a dance programme, or some cultural programme performed at the stage like platform at the center of the Mantapa from morning to evening.
To avoid any confusion as to which one was which son in law they got each pair seated together in numerical order.
Also earlier generations there was a practice, that the Mother in law would not see her son-in –law directly face to face. Keeping that practice in mind the Chavadi was designed such that the King can see all 32 people that is all of his daughters and son in laws but the queen can only see her daughters. The daughters husband sitting next to them are not visible to Queen.
Hedathale is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India. It is located in the Nanjangud taluk of Mysore district in Karnataka. At the bank a river in rishis (Sage) used to do Homa, Havana and poornahavathi which is done at the end. At that time, somewhere a Rakshasa would come running at and stamp that homa or pour blood over it .This way he would spoil their homa. The rishis when to Koundilya Maharishi and requested him for a solution to their problem. So Koundilya Maharishi does penance to Narayana and when Narayana appears he requests for the Rakshasa to be killed. Narayana Kills the Rakshasa, cuts that Rakshasas head and throws it to the left side. The village his head fell is known as Yedathale which means Yeda (left) thale(head) and in common usage has become Hedathale.

Submerged Venugopala Swamy temple becomes a living monument at KRS backwaters - Star of Mysore
If devotees cannot go to the temple, the temple goes to devotees ! This is what happened at Krishna Raja Sagara. The 12th century Venugopala Swamy Temple, which remained submerged when the KRS was full and resurfaced when the water level reached an all time low, was shifted to the nearby Hosa Kannambadi village, thanks to liquor baron and philanthropist late Sri Hari Khoday who took up this gigantic task as a Khoday Foundation Project. Today, the temple, which is waiting for inauguration, has become a major tourist attraction.
